Donate now to the pres prayer team. Che Guaverra did!
I figure it costs them at least $5.00 to process a donation so I regularly contribute. Here is the letter I recieved from them today.
Dear Mr. Guaverra,

Thank you for your donation of $0.01 to continue
your support of The Presidential Prayer Team.

You will receive a receipt in the mail within 7 to 10 days
which you may use for tax purposes. You should receive your new
PPT Membership Card within 4 to 6 weeks.

We want you to know that we could not exist without friends,
such as yourself, Mr. Guaverra, and we are so blessed to have,
you as a partner!

Thank you, and may God bless you richly.

The Presidential Prayer Team

Anyone remember monkeywrenching?

Oh, and for anyone that want's to comment on the fact that "Guaverra" is spelled incorrectly, I know and it's on purpose.

1. Hey Guaverra is spelled wrong.
I'd be careful donating pennies to the PPT. Isn't there something about a penny "saved"?

2. Fuck that!
In Ben Franklins day a penny would buy something. In fact, when I was a kid, a penney would buy something. Today, they can't even make pennies out of copper because the copper is worth more than the coin. Sad, but that's what happens wher repukes are in charge.

4. I don't think it would cost $5.00 to process a donation
You're right that they take a hit on this particular transaction, but you're overestimating the amount.

Credit card companies charge their merchants a tiny amount per credit transaction. While the charge is greater than a penny, it is far less than $5.00. It's somewhere between a nickle and a quarter, if I remember correctly.
